The reason it is not as well known as other paintings by Van Gogh is probably because it’s actually a « copy » of a drawing by Jean-François Millet, an artist he admired greatly.
I put copy in quotation marks because the two artworks are very different. Van Gogh made 21 copies after Millet’s works from the asylum in Saint-Remy, and he called them « translations ».
The original title of the painting posted by op is actually First steps, after Millet.

[id: reddit post by user spaghettishoestrings titled "(UPDATE) Just lost my healthcare !" with the flair "Celebratory."
Post reads:
Original post is viewable through my profile. Apologies, since I’m on mobile, I couldn’t hyperlink. The TLDR: my doctor called me on Monday and informed me that their practice would no longer be providing treatment for gender affirming care as a result of a recent presidential Executive Order, even though the EO was for people under 19. Even though I’m 25.
Also, because it was asked a few times, this happened in Michigan, and I’ve been on HRT for 5+ years. It’s a practice that includes like 15+ physicians, and I think that the decision was made over my PCP’s head, given that she once told me that she literally moved states to be able to provide gender affirming care here.
First off, genuinely, thank you so much for all the replies and messages. I genuinely felt frozen after that phone call and didn’t know where to start, and you all really helped me get my feet off the ground.
A couple people mentioned contacting the ACLU, which, truthfully, I thought, “there’s no way that the ACLU will get back to me” but I sent a message anyway. They actually called me a few hours after my post and we talked about the Executive Orders and my rights. They offered to fax my provider a letter reminding them of my rights and some other legal terms. It’s crazy how a post on reddit resulted in my name being on the official ACLU letterhead.
Anyway, today my doctor’s physician assistant called me and shared that their practice is reversing their decision and they will continue to provide gender affirming care. I’m still keeping a bunch of the resources that y’all shared saved, including Planned Parenthood, Plume, and looking into a private endocrinologist.
This whole experience just reminded me how great this community is. I appreciate y’all <3"

You should contact Chase Strangio from the ACLU, I believe he is looking for reports of folks being denied their GAC due to these EOs. He's @chasestrangio on IG and Threads.

I hate knowing how to sew. I hate that knowing how to sew compels me to fix my own clothes when their shoddy construction destroys them cuz I don't wanna spend another fuckin thirty dollars to replace it when I have $1 of thread. Mending is the worst and it's 90% of the sewing I do these days.
In the interest of transparency I will for the record state it took less than thirty minutes to patch my work jeans however this is the third time I have done this on these jeans and bitching about mending is the most enjoyable part of mending.
In theory I do recommend learning how to sew at least enough to mend thigh holes because I can usually get another two or three months out of a pair of work jeans before I say fuck this and toss them which is significant considering that half of my job is wearing a safety harness and then crawling into small and awkward spaces. Which is. Notably. Not exactly the kindest work for jeans.
I'll see if I can track down some tutorials after work. The most important things to keep in mind though are 1) sew a border around the hole with a running stitch or a backstitch so that the hole does not get larger after you fix it and 2) do NOT. do not. Use a ladder stitch. "Magic disappearing stitches" only work on non load bearing areas. Thigh fabric is load bearing. If you use a ladder stitch, it WILL pop when you squat or bend over.
Okay @katharkness here are a couple of tutorials and refs.
The first two are the ones that @phoenixyfriend dropped in the replies, thank you so much for that! The second link here is definitely my favorite ref of the bunch, so I'm glad you had it!!
This one is a post with a book rec on visible mending and a youtube video of a guy doing a type of visible mending called sashiko. If you were interested in the white crosses on patches I mentioned in the tags, this would be that. I know my library carries Mending Matters, so you might check and see if it's at yours!
This post is a short visual guide to several common repair techniques. It talks about it in the context of holes in the knees, but they will work just as well for thigh holes (just don't use the ladder stitch). The "patch on the inside of the jeans" technique is what I recommend most, because it's stronger and lasts longer and it's easier for beginners. The "darning" technique is what I personally usually use, because I'm lazy and also because most of my fabric is packed but my thread is not. If you do the patch, you will automatically have a border from sewing the patch to the pants, but if you do the darning, sew a border around the hole first to strengthen the edges and make it less likely that the hole grows.
The next two are a couple references that I dug up.
This post is the DIY clothing repair guide pdf from the university of kentucky. It's been a while since I've read it so I don't remember if there's something immediately useful in it but it's a neat little general resource.
This post is a step by step guide with pictures on how to specifically patch an inner thigh hole. The holes of the pictured jeans are gigantic, so it's a pretty clear tutorial. It is machine based but the steps are basically the same if you hand sew it. I recommend reading the two links from Phoenix first, and then this one, and that should give you a pretty good idea on where to go with your jeans.
Bonus tips:
The fabric you patch with matters, mostly because of stretch. If your jeans are 100% cotton, use a fat quarter or some regular woven cotten to patch. If they are stretch jeans (5-15% nylon or spandex or whatever) go with jersey cotton (like an old t-shirt) or something with the same fabric content cuz that will stretch a bit also. If they're jeggings...idk. Patch with an old pair of leggings, probably? You could also use like, actual jean patches for patching jeans like what they sell at walmart, if you want, but I don't like them and I have one billion fat quarters laying around so. Up to you.
If you don't have an exact match for thread because all you have is like a dollar store sewing kit, use white thread for tan or blue jeans and black thread for black jeans. If you have weird colored jeans and a dollar store sewing kit, use whatever color is closest in the kit. It's on the thighs so no one will likely notice anyway.
Put on an audio that you like when you are sewing. It is best to put on something you already know you like because mending thigh holes can get very annoying when it is not going well and if you are ambivalent toward your audio things are double worse.
Do NOT sew on your bed. If you lose your needle you don't want to lose it on your bed!!! Also have a magnet and a flashlight nearby :) Trust me on this one :)))
If you get some thread on a spool from like walmart or some shit or if you used the thread out of your dollar store sewing kit it will almost certainly be polyester. If you do not want polyester thread, go to the embroidery section of walmart or a craft supply store and you will almost certainly find cotton embroidery thread. Personally I do not find that the type of thread matters.
i love that mending, visible or inconspicuous, is coming back. those sashiko patches are beautiful! i have a box of old "parts jeans" that i mine for patches for my own or other peoples' mending.
i also like to use fusible tricot interfacing for certain kinds of mending, like where an inconspicuous patch is needed that won't add a lot of bulk. it comes from the fabric store by the yard, in white or black, and unlike the usual nonwoven interfacing, it has a real structure, so it won't disintegrate. the fusible aspect means it will stay put while you sew it to the garment, without jabbing yourself with a lot of pins. as described above, the glue won't hold it alone, so you do have to sew. but it is thin and flexible, so it's comfortable to wear, which is an advantage for some garments and fabrics.
drew over something i wrote for a class and liked :] sorry the cars are lowkey ugly, its because I fucking hate cars and cant be bothered to learn what they look like beyond ominous hunks of metal

6 Tips for Crossing the Road
Look both ways
The road is for cars.
Make sure to look for them before crossing. Even when you have the right of way, cars have a lot of safety features and you have none.
Use designated crosswalks
The road is for cars.
So is the crosswalk but, under brief and temporary conditions, you can use it too! Never jaywalk, never walk in the road, just hope there is a clear and functional sidewalk.
Cross at the light
The road is for cars.
There are rules and signs for them, but that can only go so far. Walk quickly and hold your breath and hope that the light doesn't turn. Make eye contact with drivers as their cars teem with potential energy, rumbling with disdain at the inconvenience of your crossing. Try to ignore the cloud of exhaust that you are in and they are above.
Leash your pets
The road is for cars.
Obviously.
To you, it may be natural to sacrifice so much space to them but to your dog, it is not. His instinct is to explore freely. You must curb it. Modern US car models have such high hoods that the average child, let alone dog, is obscured. Even on the sidewalk, hold the leash tight because the sidewalk (if you are so blessed) is next to the street and the threat still looms.
Look out for road kill
The road is for cars.
And no one was there to leash the deer.
Or the raccoon.
Or the cat.
Did you know that the most reliable sample method for wildlife in an area is looking at the roadkill?
Remember these tips
The road is for cars.
Cars are everywhere. In the city. In the suburbs. In the country. In the woods (the US Forest Service manages more roads than the entire Ministry of Transit in China.) Cars are everywhere because there are roads to bring them there, which is great if you are a car and want to get from place to place fast without worrying about the in-between.

They are trying to wear you out, and they own most major social media now, along with many major media outlets. The disinformation machine is cranking along. You are going to have to slow the fuck down and read things before you help them wear out other people, too.
So you just saw a post about a real scary bill, hunh? Republicans want to make it a capital offense to pet dogs and repeal The Sky Is Blue Act of 1793, declaring the new official color of the sky to be squant? Damn, that sounds scary.
Let's go look up this fictitious "Make The Sky Squant Again Act" on GovTracker* & on the official legislative tracker on congress.gov!
Tracking legislation and votes in the United States Congress.
U.S. Congress legislation, Congressional Record debates, Members of Congress, legislative process educational resources presented by the Lib
Well, let's see... GovTracker estimates it has a 1% chance of even getting out of committee and a 0% chance of being enacted, while congress.gov says this bill has 2 cosponsors who have been in the House and combined total of less than a month. The bill doesn't have any actual text, and it was referred to 5 different committees.
That fictitious bill and a hundred others like it are quite literally not worth your time, and more than that, continuing to wring your hands about it and tell other people about the scary scary squant sky bill only does their work for them. It scares people, it makes them spend time and energy on it, and it wears them out. It is a legislative Gish Gallop, meant to throw so many things at people that we can't keep up.
Even calling or messaging your Rep in this case means their staffer has to waste time responding to you and letting you know that Representative Buttzonheads definitely won't support making petting dogs a capital offense, a thing that will never, ever happen regardless.
Staying engaged in this environment is going to require protecting your heart and protecting your energy, yes, but also protecting the energy of others. This is why WWII propaganda posters also included ones taking people to task for spreading panicky rumors and undermining morale.
Do you know why most observant Jews don't eat chicken and dairy together, even though the ban is on red meat and dairy together bc you're not supposed to cook the calf in the milk of its mother?** It's not because we think that chicken might secretly lactate or Just Because. It's because the rabbis decided that if I'm sitting out in public and eating turkey and cheese together, someone might glance at the turkey and mistake it for red meat and think, "oh, well, I know that Spider is a good Jew, there must have been a change, or maybe I can just justify it to myself that if Spider does it, it must be permissible to bend the rules just that much." And I would then be accidentally leading my fellow Jew astray. We are responsible for being even more careful for the sake of others than we are for ourselves.
It's the same principle here. We need to really be careful about the information we are spreading and check things past reading a news site. Is it true? Is it relevant? Is it meaningful? Is the news site one I recognize? Can I find meaningful independent corroboration on another site, which is to say, if I find an article about it on a second site, is it just quoting or rephrasing this site?
Yeah, that is a lot. But that's how we keep them from using us to lead our fellows astray.
*GovTracker is an independent site. They explain their methodology in their About section.
**I cannot say enough how I am not at this time interested in going on a Jewish Side Quest About Dietary Laws on this post. Usually, I love it, but hold off this time, please, y'all. Let's stay on target this once.
